Ah yes, America first.
I wonder what all those hand wringing pro Palestinians, who simply couldn’t vote Democrat because of what happened in Gaza, are thinking now?
“Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.” Or something like that. Some kind of sad self-righteous superiority.
I’m sure it’s unchanged for most of them. If they were really capable of thinking rationally then they wouldn’t have held the positions they had in the first place. The evidence was clear from the start that this would be the result of a Trump win. These people are in the same category as anti-vaxxers. No matter the evidence, they cannot or will not change their opinion.
They’ve all re-rolled new characters and are now playing as freedom-fighting heroes leading the charge for everyone to stop pointing fingers and laying blame.
Ironically, they’re asking everyone to fight for the same freedoms they’d have had if they’d have stopped pointing fingers and laying blame prior to the election.
Thee are still plenty of unrepentant ones as well. But honestly those are just accelerationists who don’t care who they have to hurt to get what they want. They just want to be the ones choosing who to hurt. Much like the magats. But pretend to be different/better.
That is probably true, and those that remain are possibly just entitled edgy teenagers that are trying to reconcile the fact that they’ve never been a part of something bigger than they are and aren’t smart enough to listen to people the that know how shit works.
I say this because back before the election, I actually spent the time to look through the comments of many of the people who were both-sides’ing the issues, and accusing everyone of being “genocide supporters.”
I found that the majority of them didn’t have jack shit to say about Palestine until around December of last year. This means that for two solid months, they seemingly didn’t give a shit.
They didn’t give a shit that is- until it became popular to.
And while I suppose there’s nothing inherently wrong with Designer Outrage™ as it’s at least helpful to raise awareness, it becomes obnoxious when they try and lord their pseudo-intellectual rhetoric over people that know better than they do- and then entrench themselves within an intellectually bereft justification to purposefully spoil an election where an entire country’s democracy is on the line.
They know exactly what they did.
And this is from the talking Cheeto that goes on about wanting cease fires and peace. Guess that only matters when it benefits daddy Putin.
Trump when he has to give old weapons to Ukraine that are of no use to the US: He says a lot of bad words and is aggressive
Trump on giving cutting-edge weapons to Israel that serve the US: Here are plenty of weapons so you can kill more Palestinians as if there were no tomorrow.
It’s not the same. Trump is SELLING weapons to Israel, not to Ukraine. He’s selling Ukraine to Russia.
